Dotty private init

dotty private init¶

Scaffold or adopt the private repository.

Synopsis¶

Create the private repository skeleton at path — the private marker, the git attributes and ignore guards, a pre-commit hook running dotty private verify, and a profile matching the active one — and record the path in the active profile's answers so every machine of the class finds it. The profile's home tree is seeded with the drop-in directories the public templates already include and dotty private link deploys: .ssh/config.d (ssh host blocks) and .config/private/git (the private git identity). An existing repository is adopted: nothing already there is touched, so re-running init is always safe. Without a path, a git repository at the working directory is preferred when init may safely target it — it already carries the private marker, or it is a fresh clone holding nothing a scaffold could disturb; otherwise the stored answer is reused, falling back to dotfiles.private beside the public repository.
